Petronas Twin Towers Overview

The Petronas Twin Tower is the most famous landmark and an iconic structure in Malaysia.
The twin towers are situated on the Jalan Ampang Road in the city of Kuala Lumpur. Even

out of Kuala Lumpur, it is now much more than just an office centre.

attraction in the city. The construction of this magnificent tower started in 1993 and it was
completed in 1996. The twin towers were finally inaugurated on 31st August 1999. Between
1998 and 2004 it was also the tallest tower in the world, with a height of 451.9 metres or
1,483 feet from the ground level.

The Petronas Twin Towers, which were designed by Argentina-born American architect-
Cesar Pelli, is one of the tallest towers in the world. The towers were built in Postmodern-
Islamic architectural style, using steel, glass and reinforced concrete and it cost 1.6 billion
U.S. dollars. The Petronas Twin Towers have 88 floors, with 5 additional underground floors.

The two breath-taking Towers are joined on the 41st and 42nd floor by a spectacular double
Decker Skybridge. The 192-feet-long bridge is the highest two-storey bridge in the world.
The Skybridge also acts as a safety device and stabilizing structure against turbulent winds
in bad weather conditions.
